  2. Linus Pauling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus_Pauling

    Linus Carl Pauling was an honorary president and member of the International Academy of Science, Munich, until the end of his life. [ 126 ] Pauling was also a supporter of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee .

  3. Obsolete models of DNA structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsolete_models_of_DNA...

    Some of these structures were proposed during the 1950s before the structure of the double helix was solved, most famously by Linus Pauling. Non-helical or "side-by-side" models of DNA were proposed in the 1970s to address what appeared at the time to be problems with the topology of circular DNA chromosomes during replication (subsequently ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_Structure_of...

    In 1951, Pauling published the structure of the alpha helix, a fundamentally important structural component of proteins. In early 1953, Pauling published a triple helix model of DNA, which subsequently turned out to be incorrect. [3] Both Crick, and particularly Watson, thought that they were racing against Pauling to discover the structure of DNA.

  5. William Astbury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Astbury

    Although incorrect in their details, Astbury's models were correct in essence and correspond to modern elements of secondary structure, the α-helix and the β-strand (Astbury's nomenclature was kept), which were developed twenty years later by Linus Pauling and Robert Corey in 1951.

  6. Alpha sheet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_sheet

    When Pauling and Corey first proposed the alpha sheet, they suggested that it agreed well with fiber diffraction results from beta-keratin fibers. [2] However, since the alpha sheet did not appear to be energetically favorable, they argued that beta sheets would occur more commonly among normal proteins, [3] and subsequent demonstration that beta-keratin is made of beta sheets consigned the ...

    They are also competing with other scientists in the UK, and with international scientists such as American Linus Pauling. The film manages to convey the loneliness and competitiveness of scientific research but also educates the viewer about how DNA's structure was discovered. It explores the tension between the patient, dedicated laboratory ...

  8. Robert Corey - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Corey

    Robert Brainard Corey (August 19, 1897 – April 23, 1971) was an American biochemist, mostly known for his role in discovery of the α-helix and the β-sheet with Linus Pauling. Also working with Pauling was Herman Branson. Their discoveries were remarkably correct, with even the bond lengths being accurate until about 40 years later.

  9. Pauling's rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauling's_rules

    One of Pauling's examples is olivine, M 2 SiO 4, where M is a mixture of Mg 2+ at some sites and Fe 2+ at others. The structure contains distinct SiO 4 tetrahedra which do not share any oxygens (at corners, edges or faces) with each other.
